No visible damage to the building was done; embassy under heavy guard

A group of radical protesters, reportedly about 20 people, attacked the Russian embassy at about 1 a.m. September 17. They threw firecrackers, some of which caused ignitions. The National Guard reported that the perpetrators fled the scene immediately after that.

The building of the Embassy suffered no visible damage.

Today, the Russian Embassy in Ukraine is to host the polling stations for voting at the elections for the Russian parliament. Despite the outrage of the Ukrainian government, the Russian diplomats and personally Russian president’s press secretary Dmitry Peskov said they will open the stations either way.
